Cemetery Lodge

Cemetery Lodge was built in 1861 by Charles Jones, the Borough Engineer. It is constructed from squared Kentish ragstone with Bath stone dressings and red brick chimney stacks, with a slate roof featuring bands of fish-scale decoration. The lodge is square in plan, with a later addition to the south-east and a hall addition to the north, both dating from 1903.

Its exterior is two storeys high. The front features twin gables facing the road, with the right-hand bay projecting. Ground-floor windows are four-light, mullioned bays with pitched slate canopies. First-floor windows are pointed, mullioned, with three lights to the left bay and two to the right, each featuring voussoirs. The south-facing entrance front has a projecting gabled range to the right, with a central arched four-panel door within a moulded frame, beneath a triangular window. To the left are two-light arched windows with voussoirs, above which is a gabled dormer window with a single-light arched window. The right bay has a four-light mullioned bay window with a slate canopy and a two-light arched window above. A northern range terminates in a gabled end with a three-light arched window. The south-east corner has an extension faced in rough-hewn blocks, featuring a canted bay window and a carved stone plaque in an Arts and Crafts style, dated 1903. The hall addition to the north, now in separate ownership as the Ark Artspace, has a prominent stone porch with angle-set buttresses, a moulded arched door surround, rectangular flanking windows with leaded lights, corner buttresses, a moulded string course, and a stone-framed, slatted opening in the gable end with Free Gothic decoration.

The interior is believed to have been remodelled in the mid-20th century and has not been inspected.

The lodge was built to serve the newly opened Ealing Cemetery and is a highly characteristic example of a lodge from the 1860s. It has strong group value with the adjoining chapels, walls, and railings.
